It always seems so wrong to take a hacksaw to your brand new forks. To cut a very long story short, my friend might have accidentally cut his steerer tube too short.
Given that this accidental damage occurred in his garage, is there a possibility it would be covered on home insurance? In theory I don't really see a problem with it, but I've never heard of anyone else doing the same.
P.S. I have told him he's an idiot, several times and laughed in his face. So you don't have to (don't want to risk upsetting my mate, you see).
